2012 Camaro 2SS/RS LS3 (Truck #342)

I've been a partner in an air conditioning and heating business in Florida, going on 27 years now. For administration purposes, every vehicle gets a number and put on a list. We call it our truck list and my Camaro happens to be #342 on the list. Hence the reason I call it "Truck 342".

During my time here, my company "truck" has been quite a variety. From standard Silverado work truck, to Volvo XC60 T6 all wheel drive. I drove a Trans Am in the late 80's, a Mustang GT in the early 90's, then SUV's for a while. I had a 2003 Jeep Rubicon (wish I still had it), a Silverado 2500HD 4x4 around 2006 (still wish I had this one too), and after that the Volvo.

As my kids have gotten older, the need for hauling them and their things around has gotten much less. Since my wife drives a Jeep Grand Cherokee, I wanted something I could play with. That's why I felt it was time for the Camaro.

Before I ordered it, I started browsing for information about it and stumbled across Camaro5.com. The addiction began immediately. I ordered the Camaro in December 2011 and picked it up towards the beginning of February 2012. It was great timing because I wanted to attend the 1st Annual Sunshine State Camaro Rally which was in March.

Haha...not really. I just have a lot in progress at the same time. The work I'm getting done is gonna knock out a lot of it. I'll still have some things to get done within the last week leading up to it.

So while I am working on getting updated pics, I figured I would post some pics of a few mods I've done previously.

The first thing I did was install BMR 1" lowering springs. In fact, before I finalized the order, I was given the lowering springs as a Christmas gift because I had told everyone I was going to order the car. LOL

I took the car to the dealer so they could install the splash guards that I ordered when I bought the car. They installed them for free so it's one of the few things I haven't done myself. Here's a picture of it after I installed the springs with the splash guards.

A guy that works in my office is also into cars and we always help each other install mods and we are constantly talking about what we want to do next. We've worked together for over 23 years and have become great friends.

My birthday came around and my wife, who also works with me, went to him to find out what she should buy for my car. She hits a home run and orders from Apex-Speed.com a CAI, Scoop, and Water Bottle relocation kit. Then, she turns around and places another order for the Stainless Works Retro-Catback exhaust It's so awesome to have someone who supports and feeds my addiction. LOL

At some point last year, I sent Lupe with River City Creations a PM to get pricing for painted bowties, tail light bezels, fog light bezels, and fender badges. My request was pretty specific and when I got the price back, I decided to put it off for a bit. I don’t remember doing it, but I spoke to my wife about it and for Father’s day, she ends up calling Lupe and orders everything I got a price on. Now…the funny part is, Lupe posted pics of the work but didn’t say who it was for, however, I knew it was for me. HAHA! I couldn’t help but react when I saw it and my wife face palmed and came clean. We’ve told the story several times to friends…funny stuff.
